Raven had been alone every since she's gotten back home. She stayed in her bed room most of the time. After finding out what has happened in Azarath it seemed alot harder to her to even see her family. Even Sparrow. She's 15 and had had alot to grasp since the last few weeks. She would feel her dark side become even stronger. She would just keep her music on her goth play llist all the time. As she took drinks from her liquor bottle and smoked. The pain was so hard on her. She had red eyes from lack of sleep. After all this time, Vince had lied to her. Why couldn't he just tell her the truth? She knew she couldn't kill herself. Maybe if she would just move away from everyone. Then they wouldn't have to worry about her any more. So she got out a piece of her stationary paper Repa got her...and wrote a good-bye letter to all of the ones here at the Towers. Her hands shook in pain from the fear she had been trying to grasp from the last few weeks. She was the Gem...the one who would end it all....She laid her communicator on her desk by her computer. And grabbed her Hot Topic back bag with a little bit of stuff needed inside....And she walked over to the window...and looked at her bed room once more....And flew out of it...and headed for the city......

Rikash let his bike idle as he glanced down the streets. So this was the city Dylan had told him to come to. The boy could help but feel annoyed. It was just a city. Just like anywhere else. There wasn't anything special about this place. It already had the super heroes it needed; the T shaped tower was impossible to miss.
The boy moved on, his motorcycle's engine easily drowned out by the other noises. Out of the corner of his eyes though, something was off. There was a flash of blue, a cape. Rikash turned the bike and switched the engine off. As silent as ever, he crept down the alley way. There, a few feet ahead, was the girl. She was a few years older than him and had obviously been crying recently.
Rikash's fingers shook slightly. He wasn't sure who this girl was; he could very well be walking into a trap. Reaching into his pocket, Rikash touched the reassuring metal of a small hand gun. At last he felt confident. He couldn't very well call out to her or anything. So instead he purposely knocked over a trash can and waited.

Just as she suspected. No one knew she was missing. She was never going back to that Tower now. She couldn't sense any one looking for her. And that her even more sad. She found herself inside a dark alley crying for just hell of it. Well actually for the life was doomed to live with. She was very young. But all for some reason she could only think about the good people of this city. In a few years all of this would be in ruin...and all the good people would be in stone. She was the bad guy. She grabbed another cigrette and lit it up. Her sister Sparrow would not like seeing her smoking. But what could Sparrow do about her? Evidently no one cared about her any way.....Raven let the tears fall heavier now. Until she heard a trash can fall over. She looked up and saw a younger kid....
Raven: What'd you want?!

Rikash raised an eyebrow. It was a good question to be honest. What did he want? Why had he gone after her? What was he going to do, scold her for bad health habits? He made no move at first. How could he answer a question that had no answer without words? At last he just shrugged, letting it stay at that.
Nodding at the cigarette he gave her a look that said all words could have. Letting a small sigh of air escape his lungs, Rikash dug into his pocket and drew out a card. It was a juniors driver license but more importantly, it carried his name. Taking the card back after a moment he waited, obviously wanting her name as well.

Raven got the impression and put out the smoke. As he handed her his driver licences. And saw his name on it and handed it back at him...
Raven: My name's Raven....My fri-----.....My nickname is Rae......

Rikash nodded as if to say, 'alright then'. With a sort of half smile he put the card in his pocket and gave her a questioning look. The inquiry was obvious. What was wrong, he was asking. Why was she crying?
Unconsciously, Rikash ran his fingers over his neck. It was a habit he never could get out of. Even with the illusion in place, Rikash could feel the knot of the scar across his throat. His eyes flickered down and away almost guiltily and drew his hand back. He had promised Dylan he would stop thinking about Jerin and the farm. And instead here he was, never forgetting. Rikash shook his head angrily and stuffed his hand in his pocket. It never even occurred to him that if this girl was a super she might not be affected by his magic like a human would.

Raven: You don't talk much do you?
Raven whipped away more of her tears. She wasn't about to tell a stranger what has happened to her in the past few weeks.
Raven: Life sucks...

Rikash shook his head to the first question. 'Can't,' he wanted to say. But instead all he could do was shake his head. He watched as she got rid of her tears. Obviously she wasn't going to tell him anything. He should have expected that. There was no reason to trust him.
To the second statement he nodded, agreeing unconditionally. Life truly and royally did. It wasn't fair and apparently she was one of those people who understood that. Rikash tipped his head slightly to the side, listening. There was a sound behind them. Turning quickly, the boy saw them. A pair of men in biker gear. Rikash's fists clenched. They weren't the same men who had shot his Uncle, but they were still that group.
Rikash stepped forward, his whole body shivering slightly. One of the men turned and looked at him. Seeing the anger in his eyes and fists, the man started laughing. "Beat it Frodo." He said. Rikash dipped his hand into his pocket. Bringing out a knife he held it level. The man smirked. "Put that away kid. Or we might have to hurt you." Rikash scowled and didn't move. But he was afraid. He had never fought without Dylan there to back him up.
The second man came up behind Rikash and grabbed him. The boy wriggled backwards, slamming his elbow into the man's gut. The man doubled over but in the process crushed Rikash into the wall. The boy gritted his teeth and slipped out. He jammed the knife into the man's back mercilessly. He didn't care who this guy was. If he had family or kids. He didn't care if the man was all talk. All he could see was his Uncle's face in his mind. Dylan was wrong. Revenge can make you feel better. The boy thought as he kicked the wounded man in the same place he was stabbed.

Raven looked up surprised as the group came towards them. She backed away deeper into the alley way....She couldn't fight. She couldn't make any more friends. Look what has happened to her. She was the Destroyer...and if he knew meaning....Rikash....he'd probably reject her. Like all her friends in the past have done. Even her own sister.....Or so she thought Sparrow felt that way......So in a heart beat she engulfed herself in black energy and teleported away from Rikash......And ran as fast and hard as possible away from every one.....She splashed her boots in puddles of water from the rain they had last night.....She was terrified true.......She stumbled on a rock pebble and fell right on her knees skinning them up pretty badly...as she slammed her hands on the ground hard! Mad at herself as she just cried right there on the side walk......

Sparrow was searching the tower franticly for raven. Until she figured out that raven had ran away. "She just ran away!!!? ugh!!" She leaned her head against a wall as she faced it...she banged her head against the wall multiple times. "This isn't good. Maybe i can contact her somehow." Sparrow closed her eyes and tried to connect with raven.
(IN RAVENS MIND) *"Rae, please...listen to me, i want you to come home...if you can here me...please...i dont want this to get any worse, im sorry."*

Raven had her mind blocked off from everyone. Includd Sparrow. As she jst sat on the curb now with scrapped up stinning knees. Raven just sat there. Of course she was taking every thing very hard. She was extremely deprssed. But who could she talk to? Repa was still in Azarath with Vince. Naturally Repa would stay with her boy friend. At least she would be safe from the Earth. More tears followed as she was thinking of her other brother Cloud. Where was he? He probably went back to Solider. After that fight that he had with Sparrow & Vince...Raven hadn't heard from him since then. Raven had just realized it had been almost all day since she had some thing to eat. She got up and spotted a burger joint not far from where she was. She first decided to go in to the bath room nd change her appearance so no one would know her.....She came out of the bathroom with a whole new look. She wore a dark bluish splattered , dark purplish tank top & a pair of black pants and black boots. Her Azarath wear was tucked into her back pack. Even her hair was a different color...black and alot longer put up on a pony tail. Sheused her magic to hide hide her chakraon her forehead.....And ordered her food and sat in the very back. To oters she looked like just a normal kid.....

Rikash felt the last of them collapse under him. Releasing his strangle hold, the boy glanced behind him. The girl named Raven was gone. With a sound of annoyance, Rikash teleported, tracking the power signal coming from her. Soon he reappeared, just behind her. She was sitting on the concrete side walk, crying. The boy rolled his eyes and poked her with a toe as if to say, 'are you quite finished?'

Aftr her lunch Raven walked back out of the resturaunt. And sat back down on her side walk where she was crying earlier. Her knees were very sore. They hurt alot. As she had to sit back down to rest them..she felt a familar scent...It was Rikash She still didn't know what was so special about her? Even with her new appearance...he knew who she was...well that didn't work very well.....Tears in her eyes as she looked up at him.....
Raven: You can spot me even if I look different? You'r pretty good then....((Meaning powerful^^)).......I guess I'm ok. What else could go wrong in the ugly world today any way....?
Raven eased up off the ground......

Rikash shrugged as if to say, 'anything could go wrong.' He looked at her new look critically. The illusion was a hurried one and purple still shone through in places. He smiled slightly and shook his head. With a slight wave of his hand he laid his own illusion on. The gem on her forehead disappeared completely and her hair finished its color change.
But it didn't end there. Thinking for a moment, he touched her back pack and it changed color and style. Finally done he took a step back to inspect his work and smiled slightly. He would barely recognize her even though it was his own illusions. With a nod he glanced at her expression as if to ask, 'better?'
